Temperament Styles

Your final Learning Channel is one of the most intriguing of all - Temperament Styles.

You will recall that this channel is based on the styles first defined and delineated by Carl Jung, and later identified in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. The Myers-Briggs indicates your basic temperament style and describes how you respond to the world around you. You already know that you respond to your environment through your sensory preferences and your organizational and perceptual preferences as well.

In the previous modules you have learned how Compelling Whys, Sensory, Perceptual, and Organizational styles are channels for learning. Your 5C lessons include Compelling Whys, KTAV, and GASC.

In this module, you will explore the ways that Temperament Styles (TS) influence learning, and connect what you have learned about brain physiology, memories, emotions, sensory learning styles, and cognitive style to temperament style. You will also design a new lesson to meet the temperament needs of your students.

At the completion of this Module, you will be able to:

• Identify and explain the four temperament styles (intuitive feeling, intuitive thinking, sensing judging, and sensing perceiving).
• Identify and explain specific instructional strategies based on each of the four temperament styles.
• Adapt, implement, and evaluate a classroom lesson using temperament style strategies.
• Generalize this course content to reflect how the multicultural and diverse populations within classrooms have their needs met via the application of the skills, strategies, and knowledge of this course.
• Reflect on and continuously evaluate personal practice, adjust accordingly, and actively seek out opportunities to grow professionally using the knowledge and skills of this course.
• Work collaboratively to share knowledge, skills, and experiences, refine understanding of content, give and receive feedback, and improve expertise.
